Fingerhut Mobile 4+

Bad app and items not available

Overall I’ve had a good experience with what I actually purchased. Reviews are a big influence of that.

APP: does not have a back button. It’s so frustrating browsing thru pages of items and clicking on a particular item to view its description and unable to go back to the original list. And if the item is on page 20, you’d have start all over from the search browsers and keep clicking “next” until you get to page 20. It’s so frustrating. Many times I lose track of what I’m looking for nor o just get annoyed and leave the app.

I live in Hawaii, I understand that most battery operated items are not available for shipping and other bulky items due to shipping costs, but beside from that, almost a lot of things can’t be shipped here! Annoying!!! What’s the point of having a Finger Hut?

Not was I was expecting..

I applied for the Freshstart program and bought my first product. It took my $30 down payment several weeks to process and after it was processed my order was cancelled and I had to call customer service. The guy I spoke to with customer service was disrespectful and he didn’t seem certain about his responses and he continued to try to speak over me. When I was finalizing my order he asked if I wanted to buy any other items and when I said no he asked me if I was sure.. yes, I’m sure... Later I found out that the freshstart program was just a trial and I could only purchase 1 item on this program and my purchase/payment history would be reviewed and they could choose to accept/deny any further transactions by me. Also, the products are not priced fairly, kind of expensive for what you’re buying. I just do not feel comfortable with paying $50+ for shoes for my 2 y/o on top of a $30 down payment with the chances of my credit line being declined. If I do not get accepted then that would result in me paying $80 for a pair of shoes then may only be worth $20-$30. I hope it turns out to be what I hoped it would be, a line of credit that I can open and be treated fairly for making payment on time and for the right amount so that it can be beneficial to my credit score. I just cannot be sure that my line of credit will be accepted at the moment and it is an unsettling feeling, Like even if I may accurate payments on time, I will still get declined.

read if you’re indecisive lol.

okay so i’m truly not sure why the reviews on this are either horrible or good but i do have to say.. i started with NO credit, no other companies would accept me. i’m not sure if the app is good but i do know the website for sure is. i got approved for $250 which i think is what they give everyone to start. my mom also did this about 10 years ago. so i knew it was legit. yeah the prices are ehhh , the interest is high. BUT just do it dude, like i started with none and with only doing fingerhut once, 8 months of on time payments, and my score is now at 640. i’m about to do my second round of fingerhut and to be honest i probably won’t be back after this but it is an amazing website to get your credit up. but after it’s above 640, i recommend maybe walmart or something less pricey and so you can get more for your money. but for now, think of it more as helping your credit. don’t think ugh i don’t wanna spend money on this. they do have cool stuff. i got 2 really nice pairs of shoes from them, a really cool cat scratch, baby drums, a cat bed, dvds, and i’m about to order beanbag chairs and amazfit watches. :) so happy with all my stuff that i’ve gotten so far. seriously just do it <3
